examination_n the_o 2_o be_v the_o subject_n or_o person_n who_o he_o will_v they_o to_o try_v concern_v the_o action_n it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o commendable_a but_o also_o a_o most_o necessary_a duty_n to_o be_v observe_v of_o every_o man_n before_o he_o pronounce_v sentence_n or_o pass_v his_o judgement_n upon_o any_o thing_n but_o special_o upon_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n &_o his_o worship_n in_o his_o ordinance_n either_o in_o reject_v or_o admit_v condem_v or_o approve_v for_o hereby_o we_o be_v preserve_v not_o only_o from_o that_o great_a sin_n of_o sinistrous_a and_o rash_a judgement_n but_o also_o from_o that_o great_a folly_n that_o fall_v in_o many_o of_o forsake_v that_o which_o be_v for_o our_o good_a and_o embrace_v that_o which_o be_v for_o our_o hurt_n and_o so_o consequent_o be_v keep_v from_o do_v wrong_a both_o to_o ourselves_o and_o other_o the_o truth_n hereof_o we_o may_v evident_o see_v in_o these_o corinthian_n who_o despise_v and_o contemn_v the_o bless_a ministry_n of_o paul_n who_o be_v the_o faithful_a apostle_n of_o christ_n and_o do_v reverence_n and_o high_o esteem_v the_o deceitful_a minister_n of_o satan_n only_o because_o they_o neglect_v this_o examination_n and_o trial_n and_o hereof_o also_o it_o come_v daily_o to_o pass_v that_o many_o fall_n in_o that_o heavy_a sin_n wherewith_o christ_n upbraid_v the_o jew_n say_v i_o
